More English words officially enter French language<br/><b>Poster:</b> Robert Rietvelt<br/><b>Post title:</b> As I already said: Don't forget the Dutch<br/><br/>William III (Dutch: Willem; 4 November 1650 – 8 March 1702)[1], also widely known as William of Orange, was sovereign Prince of Orange from birth, Stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland, and Overijssel in the Dutch Republic from 1672, and King of England, Ireland, and Scotland from 1689 until his death. It is a coincidence that his regnal number (III) was the same for both Orange and England. As King of Scotland, he is known as William II.[2] He is informally known by sections of the population in Northern Ireland and Scotland as "King Billy".[3]<br /><br />William inherited the principality of Orange from his father, William II, who died a week before William's birth. His mother Mary, Princess Royal, was the daughter of King Charles I of England. In 1677, he married his fifteen-year-old first cousin, Mary, the daughter of his maternal uncle James, Duke of York.<br /><br />A Protestant, William participated in several wars against the powerful Catholic king of France, Louis XIV, in coalition with Protestant and Catholic powers in Europe. Many Protestants heralded him as a champion of their faith. In 1685, his Catholic father-in-law, James, Duke of York, became king of England, Ireland and Scotland. James's reign was unpopular with the Protestant majority in Britain. William, supported by a group of influential British political and religious leaders, invaded England in what became known as the "Glorious Revolution". On 5 November 1688, he landed at the southern English port of Brixham. James was deposed and William and Mary became joint sovereigns in his place. They reigned together until her death on 28 December 1694, after which William ruled as sole monarch.<br /><br />William's reputation as a staunch Protestant enabled him to take the British crowns when many were fearful of a revival of Catholicism under James. William's victory at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 is still commemorated by the Orange Order. His reign in Britain marked the beginning of the transition from the personal rule of the Stuarts to the more Parliament-centred rule of the House of Hanover.<br /><br />(Source Wikipedia)<br /><br />And let us not forget the Dutch influence in nowadays/modern English!

William the Conqueror was merely Duke of Normandy, not the king of France. <br />And queens are not kings, especially in France where there has never been a queen except as the wife of the king, never simply queen in her own right like the current British monarch.

The House of Plantagenet, rulers of the Kingdom of England (but of French origin) spent 100 years fighting the House of Valois, (also French) in an effort to decide who should rule. The indigenous English had been vassals of the French monarchy ever since 1066. All those castles dotted around England were built by the French (the Normans) to defend them from English rebellions.
